I agree with the engine capacity for young/new drivers.

They restrict them for motorcycles; I only bypassed that because of my age and I was therefore allowed to take the direct access test, so that I could buy pretty much what I wanted.

I am a coward, so I went for another 500cc bike, and that was fine for me to start with.

I have been riding for about 4 years now, and feel it is time to move to something bigger, but want a house with a garage before I do that.

But yes, a restriction on cars would be a very good step.

Although I think that people should either spend a year on 2 wheels, or at least do a couple of compulsory basic training courses, one in the dry and another in the wet, to enable them to appreciate different road surfaces and act accordingly.

You tend to find that people who have motorcycles and use them regularly have better roadcraft than those that don't. This opnion is shared by a lot of people, RoSPA included
